    Congrats. Great to hear your fleetmates are helping you with this.

    Also... word of advice, if you ever smoked around your computer... might be a good idea to open 'er up and clean 'er out a bit. When I trained to be a computer repair tech (unfortunately never went anywhere because recession hit as I got out of school) I did clean out a few computers that had some... carpets of dust. The ones with someone who smoked around them... were pretty bad. But I think that was from years of doing so and never cleaning out the inside.
    Also don't get me started on Macs. Alien artifacts I swear. ;)

    As a former smoker, myself, congrats! I know how hard it can be, but quitting cigarettes is an amazing thing 😁 You should be very proud of yourself! I'm proud of you ❤️

    Congrats! I quit five years ago, and feel much better these days. And having more money doesn't hurt either!

    Congratulations! Hope you can breathe better now. I never picked that particular nasty habit up, but my parents and sibs all smoke, though the parents stopped after mom got ill. She finally passed on some years ago (unrelated to smoking).

    It's a real milestone when someone can toss cigarettes and not pick them back up.

    My husband does the dip and I can't stand it, but it's his choice.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D
